25) Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn't commit. Their claims of how awful 'we' are never seems to encompass themselves in the 'we.' Saying America is a racist nation is never meant to suggest that the speaker is a racist -- it's his neighbors who are the racists.
24) It's the famous liberal two-step: First screw something up, then claim that it's screwed up because there's not enough government oversight (it's the free market run wild!), and then step in and really screw it up in the name of "reform."
23) This is liberalism's real strength. It is no longer susceptible to reductio ad absurdium arguments. Before you can come up with a comical take on their worldview, some college professor has already written an article advancing the idea.
22) As long as American liberals are going to keep announcing that they're embarrassed for their country, how about being embarrassed by our public schools or by our ridiculous trial lawyer culture that other countries find laughable?
21) Liberals never, ever drop a heinous idea; they just change the name. "Abortion" becomes "choice," "communist" becomes "progressive," "communist dictatorship" becomes "people's democratic republic" and "Nikita Khrushchev" becomes "Barack Obama."
20) Americans cannot comprehend how their fellow countrymen could not love their country. But the left's anti-Americanism is intrinsic to their entire worldview. Liberals promote the right of Islamic fanatics for the same reason they promote the rights of adulterers, pornographers, abortionists, criminals, and Communists. They instinctively root for anarchy against civilization.
19) Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant.
18) Liberals don't believe there is such a thing as "fact" or "truth." Everything is a struggle for power between rival doctrines.
17) The liberal charge of "hypocrisy" has so permeated the public consciousness that no one is willing to condemn any behavior anymore, no matter how seedy. The unstated rule is: If you've done it, you can't ever criticize it -- a standard that would seem to repudiate the good works of the Rev. Franklin Graham, Malcolm X, Whittaker Chambers and St. Paul, among others.
16) Liberals don't mind discussing who is more patriotic if patriotism is defined as redistributing income and vetoing the Pledge of Allegiance. Only if patriotism is defined as supporting America do they get testy and drone on about 'McCarthyism'.
15) Liberals use the word science exactly as they use the word constitutional. Both words are nothing more or less than a general statement of liberal approval, having nothing to do with either science or the Constitution.
14) If liberals were prevented from ever again calling Republicans dumb, they would be robbed of half their arguments. To be sure, they would still have "racist," "fascist," "homophobe," "ugly," and a few other highly nuanced arguments in the quiver. But the loss of "dumb" would nearly cripple them.
13) Here the country had finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism and they don't want to fight it. They would have, except it would put them on the same side as the United States.
12) Just as we're always told that schoolyard bullies are actually deeply insecure, liberals rationalize their own ferocious behavior by claiming to have been wounded somehow. What about the little guy our poor, insecure bully is beating the living daylights out of? How's his self-esteem coming along? That is the essence of liberals: They viciously attack everyone else, while wailing that they are the victims.
11) What liberals mean by "goose-stepping" or "ethnic cleansing" is generally something along the lines of "eliminating taxpayer funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. But they can't say that, or people would realize they're crazy. So instead they accuse Republicans by speaking in code words.
10) With their infernal racial set-asides, racial quotas, and race norming, liberals share many of the Klan's premises. The Klan sees the world in terms of race and ethnicity. So do liberals! Indeed, liberals and white supremacists are the only people left in America who are neurotically obsessed with race. Conservatives champion a color-blind society.
9) The reason any conservative's failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It's an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites.
8) Liberals claim to love gays when it allows them to vent their spleen at Republicans. But disagree with liberals and their first response is to call you gay. Liberals are gays' biggest champions on issues most gays couldn't care less about, like gay marriage or taxpayer funding of photos of men with bullwhips up their derrieres. But who has done more to out, embarrass, and destroy the lives of gay men who prefer to keep their orientation private than Democrats? Who is more intolerant of gays in the Republican Party than gays in the Democratic Party?
7) Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.
6) If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.
5) If liberals expressed half as much self-righteous indignation about crime as they do about the random case of police brutality, one might be inclined to take them seriously. Criminals they like. It's the police they hate.
4) Liberals are perennially enraged that Republicans are allowed to talk back. For years, this wasn't a problem, because, in Lenin's immortal words, they had seized the telegraph office. There were only three TV stations, three major newspapers, and a handful of national magazines, all run by liberals. But at least since Rush Limbaugh got a microphone, liberals haven't been able to make arguments in a vacuum.
3) But all liberals only have empathy for the exact same victims -- always the ones that are represented by powerful liberal interest groups.
2) Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can't stand the competition.
1) Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago.
Good stuff. Hey has anyone else everthought that Ann might make a great Presidential Press Secretary for President Demint?
Niiiiiiiiiice.
bttt
Coulter 2012 !!
I'd rather see her as Sec of State
Classic
I like that! I'll be smiling the rest of the day! :o)
What a gal. She is the total package. A believer, intelligent, good looking, witty, and loves to skewer liberals. She has it all. The antidote for liberalism.
Go, Annie, go!
Hey! What are you, a perverted TSA groper?
Ann looks like my wife. I like them both for different reason.
If there is a possibility of a brain transplant that can be performed by anyone here, please contact me.
ping for later

Actually, arguing with liberals IS arguing with people suffering from ADD.
“if it were not for terrorism, liberals would hate muslims”
or something like that...
Better, yet, I’d like to see her as Attorney General of the US.
So does my hermit crab.

“GLOBAL WARMING” BECOMES “CLIMATE CHANGE” SO THAT THEY CAN BLAME ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE WEATHER ON DRIVING YOUR CAR OR EXHALING.
NOW IT’S DISRUPTIFICATION OR SOME OTHER NONSENSE WORD. THEY’LL PROBABLY THINK OF 5 MORE WORDS FOR IT WHILE IT’S ON ITS DEATHBED.
18) Liberals don't believe there is such a thing as “fact” or “truth.” Everything is a struggle for power between rival doctrines.
TRUTH AND FACTS CLEAR LIBERALS OUT OF A ROOM LIKE LIGH TO A ROACH. IF THEY DON’T SCATTER, THE OTHER OPTION IS THAT THEY WILL CRAWL ALL OVER YOU.
15) Liberals use the word science exactly as they use the word constitutional. Both words are nothing more or less than a general statement of liberal approval, having nothing to do with either science or the Constitution.
YEP. THE LEFT HAS MADE THE WORD ‘SCIENCE’ A VERY SUSPICIOUS WORD. THEY CLAIM THAT THE LIES OF AGW ARE SCIENCE. I’D HATE TO BE A SCIENTIST AND SEE SCIENCE DEBASED AND POLITICIZED THE WAY THE LEFT HAS BEEN DOING FOR 40+ YEARS.

DUMB OR RACIST ARE THEIR TWO MAIN ONES. IF THAT DOESN’T WORK THEY PULL OUT THEIR NOT-SO-SECRET WEAPON, “BUSH’S FAULT!” TA-DA AND FORSOOTH!!!....(Leftists waiting for applause after the curtain has come down)

THEY BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF SOMEONE VERBALLY, THEN ACCUSE YOU OF BEING EXTREMELY HARSH IF YOU BRING UP AN ACTUAL FACT OR A QUOTE BY ONE OF THEIR OWN. MANY TIMES I USE EXACTLY THE SAME TEMPLATE WHEN RESPONDING TO A POINT IN AN ARGUMENT WITH A LEFTIST. I GET ATTACKED FOR BEING “SO MEAN”

I WAS SURPRISED THE FIRST TIME I WENT INTO A SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENT ON THE INTERNET. MY LEFTIE OPPONENT WENT ALL OVER THE PLACE INTO SIDEROADS AND AREAS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL TOPIC.
LATER, I FOUND THIS TO BE STANDARD O.P. AMOUNG THE LEFT.

YEP. AND THEY’RE STILL FIGHTING FOR A ONE-SIDED INFORMATION FLOW. THEY WANT ONLY MISINFORMATION, FREE OF TRUTH.
2) Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can't stand the competition.
THEY WORSHIP THEMSELVES AND OTHER FOOLS THAT CLAIM TO BE SMARTER THAN GOD.
Great list, but the spelling Nazi in me must point out #23 is “reductio ad absurdum.”
